at about the same time the Ger
man high command announced
that lour German officers had
been executed for cowardice or
negligence in permitting the
bridge to be seized intact.
No Blame Placed
Failure to replace or repair
the damaged girder in time was
the real reason for loss of the
bridge, but until a full Investi
gation already under way is
completed there was some re
luctance to place any response
hilitv.
Two enginecrinc units were
working on the bridge when the
512-foot central, span crasnea.
One group had the job of keep
ing the superficial structure re
paired so iramc coum -cross,
-while 8 unit of specialists had
been given the task of repairing
the basic structure. ; .:;
Pontoon Spans Used
But first consideration by ne
cessity was given tnthe task of
building up the bridgehead and
throwing over supplementing
pontoon spans. It is across these
pontoon spans that men and ma
terial must go until the bridge
is repaired, but. these are easy;
prey for floods, .'comraort along,

entire steel framework of
the railroad bridge - collapsed.
with the stone piers nd the ap-i
proaches remaining intact, a
section leading from the center

Jap Claims
A Japanese Imperial com

American warships were sunk,
one damaged and 46 U. S.
planes shot down.
The 1400 planes that Tokyo
said opened the attack could,
in two days, exceed the 2S00
tons of bombs the Superforti
dropped on Nagoya.
Increasing Japanese counter
attacks were reported- from
Burma and the Philippines.
Trapped Japanese 1 n central
Burma were apparently trying
to break through, 75 miles south
of Mandalay.
In the Philippines the Jap
anese counterassaults attempted
unsuccessfully to halt north

made another amphibious land

the 41st division on Mindanao.

' (Continued From Page One)
house of representatives from
the Far West produces more
statemen per gross ton than the
membership from the states that
are close to Washington. There
is a definite and practical reason
why this may be so.
The Far West is REMOTE
from Washington and relatively
few constituents can spare the
time and money to run back to
the national capital every few
weeks or months to demand per
sonal service from their con
gressmenwho are thus left
comparatively free to improve
themselves and increase their ef
fectiveness in the discharge of
their larger duties and responsi
bilities. The people of the states
within overnight radius- are re
stricted by none of these in
hibitions of time and space and
cash, and go. descend upon their
congressmen in swarms, leaving
them little time for their
weightier responsibilities to their
districts and to the nation as a
whole.
WE of the Klamath Basin have
before us at the moment an
interesting example of these
larger responsibilities or. a con-sressman.
If this Pit river water di
version project gets out of hand
that is to say, if it should get
a favorable or even a lukewarm
report from the army engineers
congress will Be our last reson
for protection of our vital in
terests, and we will want all of
the time and all of the energy
and all of the ability of Congress
man Stockman and Congressman
Engle to head it off and save for
us what is ours. We won't want
them to be swamped in a vast
and sticky mass of detail.
Fortunately, they won't be.
Due partly to personal ability
and in other part to a forbearing
and Dublic-spirited constituency,
they are being left with enough
free time to make of themselves
efficient representatives of their
districts as a wnoie.

More Waves Needed,
Says Recruiter
Enlistment of Waves In Ore
gon will be nearly double what
they have been for the past three
mouths as the result of the as
signment by the navy of in
creased quotas for tne state, an
nounced A. C. Frlescn of the
Klamath Falls navy recruiting
station,, which handles Wave ap
plications in this area.
After sharp curtailment of
Wave recruiting in the past three
months, during which only a
small number was enlisted each
week in the 13th naval district,
enlistment programs have been
stepped up here to meet the new
demands for feminine bluejack
ets. Increased assignments to over
seas duty for hundreds of Waves
have brought a need for more
trained young women to take
their jobs in this country. A
Wave must serve for six months
in the U. S. with a perfect rec
ord before she is eligible for
overseas duty.

WASHINGTON, March 1U (P)
Rep, Kngol (li-Mich.) camo up to
day with another of bin one-man
investigations to report:
Millions of low-lncmue Amort
can families "will turn too social
ism, communism or some iilhor
'Ism,' " unless something is dune
soon to plvn thorn a decent war
time living ntundard.
Ills recommendation:
Better salaries and reduced In
come tuxes to give them a pur
chasing power abreast of in
creased living costs.
Kngcl Is In the habit nf digging
deep and alone into the ills of
tho nation and reporting his con
clusions to congress. Today he
give the house n 22-pnge report
on what he learned about fami
lies who have gone through the
war with little or no more In
come than they had five or six
years ago.
inee people, he said, have
been allowed 15 per cent wago
Increases under tho Little Steel
formula. But their Income taxes
havo gone up 1 2 4 per cent and
living costs from 30 to 48 ner
cent.
As one solution, he nut In a
bill to restore 1B40 Income tax
exemptions for the low-Income
group. That would give a $2000
exemption to a head of a fam
ily and an SHOO exnmntion to an
individual. Present exemptions
ara a flat $500 a person.
80,000 Germans
Run for Rhine
(Continued From Page One)
through) division of tho third
army had broken across the
Naho river toward tho west
bank city of Mainz, smu.ihcd a
furious counterattack, and was
still running high, wide and
handsome.
Coblcnz finally was cleared.
The famous fourth armored
division raptured Sprendllngen
and moved closest to Mainz, and
Patton's tenth armored division
sprinted within 19 miles north
west of Kalscrslauten, a key
German buse of 81,000 in the
Polatinnte.
Tho seventh army, - moving
more slowly but up to six miles
a day through Siegfried line for
tifications between besieged
Saarbrucckcn and tha Rhino,
closed within 26 miles of Kai
ser.ilautern. The third army captured Dll
llngcn and its great steel mill
and crashed into St. Wcndct,
only 16 miles from seventh
army troops fighting in tha
Zweibrucckcn area. A meeting
of the armies would trap all
Germans in the Siiiirbrucckcn
area and along the Saar river
where virtually all tho Soar
steel mills aro located.
This trap, within the larger
trap west of the Rhine, would
virtually conquer the whole
compact Saarland, leaving only
the Palatinate to the Germans
west of tho Rhine.
